Put it this way..there is one of you. There is lots of material possesions and lots of people with them. But still only one of you..if someone likes you for you that is secure as can be. What's more it is honest and true. Its quality...where for materials you can offer that is not secure, its only secure till they get what they want or someone with more comes along. It's not genuine. But I can't see why you should settle for that.

We never know how long we have with someone but we get to decide to tresssure the time we did have.there is never any way to secure a relationship forever but the time you did have..its all not lost after. As with your friend..you still had five years to share whatever the end may have been. It was not for nothing. Genuine even for a time might be more fullfilling than disgenuine for long haul. You don't have to see it how I do.. I know..but I want you to have genuine love. I think you deserve that to be a requirement.

Mr.V maybe it has more to do with how you feel about you than how anyone else feels about you?

Nothing wrong woth wantong a comfortable life, and yes some experiences do cost money. I know I would love to travel and never have because of funds. I understand that part.
